Uncle Sans Mail.

The Postmaster General, William F.
Villas, has made and submitted his an
nual report for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1887. The report states
that the expectations of growth
and improvement in the postal service
INDUCED in previous reports had been
realized.
The revenues have gained on the
previous years nearly S4,S40,OO0 de
spite the reduction in postal rates, and
that the expenditures exceeded but
little over 50 100000 the amount re-
ceived; that it was fairly to be pre-
sumed that next year the amount re-
ceived would be equal to the expenses
incurred in this department; that
even now if The official documents of
the government, paid postage, it would
amount to the deficiency. He sug-
gested that this department should
not be expected to yield an income
and INDUCED in the prediction that
within reasonable time tirst-class
matter could be carried ut one cent
per ounce instead of at two rs at pres
ent
1t is probably true that all things
considered the postage in the United
States is cheaper than any other ma
ton. A letter can now he carried any
where in our country at two cents and
it is also the most certain of all the de-
partments or transactions of the Gov
ernment, and one of the departments
of the Government Of which all Amer
leans can justly be proud.
The Postmaster General says: "The
paramount duty of the government,
so far as concerns this department, is
to furnish the most perfect and useful
postal facilities to the people, within
the authority OF the constitution,
which the skill of man can provide"
Much trouble has been caused by
the postal law forbidding advertise
ments to appear on envelopes.
Postmasters at hundreds of points,
not having the law within reach, are
naturally bewildered, and the depart
ment is constantly in receipt OF COM
munications asking for information on
this subject Immense piles of mail
from maly business houses, rejected
because of advertisements appearing
on the envelopes, had accumulated,
and, of course been delayed.
The Postmaster Generals action in
remitting these penalties and allowing
this mail to proceed as usual is gener-
ally approved.
1t may be matter of interest to
know that on June 30, 1887, there
were in the United States 55,l57 post
| Offices, OF which number 1886 were
| olliCtS, WHICH huuiuSl, IL
increased by the clerks and carriers in
the whole service, amounts to quite an
army of officials.
That the money order department
works smooth and with little friction
Or loss to the people, is apparent when
it is said that during the whole year
complaints of improper. payments of
money numbered only Al, or one to
each OF 194 ,459 orders paid.
In no country have such rapid I'M
provcments been made in the carry
ing and distribution of mails rs in the
United States, and in no country have
newspapers and literature of all kinds
been so universally read and circulated.
as extended as our country is, and in
no country have the people the same
reasons to be proud as i'll the United
States.

A NEW WEAPoN.-It has been de-
cided to supply the French army with
the Lebel gun, which is said to be a
very effective weapon. 1t is repeat
ing rifle, throwing a small steel-pointed
ball, which is propelled by a newly
invented smokeless powder of great
! power. The balls revolve at the rate
of 1000 revolutions minute, and are
effective at distance of mile and
| half. In recent tests, bullets fired at
five hundred yards penetrated brick
wall eight inches, and it is said that at
/ mile they will pass through a man
as easily as at ten PAGES. The car
tridges are so small that soldier can
carry two hundred rounds. By the
use Of such weapons as are now being
introduced into the armies of France
and Germany, one cannot readily inn
agine the terrible loss of life which
must take place in the next war be-
| tween those two countries.

While Utah has adopted a new con-

tuity of polygamy within the territory,
Congress will make provision that in
the event of the Territory's admission
into the Union az a State that clause
of the constitution cannot be debarred

mit.ed at this session, they will not be

7riLaHr from vii Jams Grove. near

opening of the great Interstate Changers

ties of the Grange under Il thorough and
efficient organization Is something like
this impossible in Maine?
The great agricultural exhibition under
the auspices Of the Order of Patrons of
Iin> bandry, more colnnO y called
GrangcrS viii h opens at this place to-
morrow, will probably attract the atten-
ton of more trainers and manufacturers
than any similar gathering in the Eastern
and Middle States. The meeting is held
ont in the country, away from all large
towns or cities, and yet actual count by
railroad officials shows that last year
there were present one day over 10000
people, and on the succeeding day the
crowd numbered a little more than H.
400
Williams Grove is an island in the
yellow Brooches Greek, some thirteen
miles southeast of Harrisburg. The
ground is laid out in broad avenues
The prime object of the meeting is to
bring the far crs and manufacturers
together. to get rid Cf middlemen or 90
betweens and enable farmers to purchase
what they need direct from the manu-
faclurcr. Colonel Il. II. Thomas, editor
or The Farmer Friend, the official organ
of the order, conceived the idea of the
Interstate Picnic Exhibit on and ii is
mainly through his eXcrtions that this
meeting has attained lis present proper
tons.
At last years exhibition over twenty
five acres were thckly planted with the
best kinds of machinery, and the goods
of this kind sold on the ground, together
with the order taken for future ship
ments, amounted To over Si00o00

day. These meetings are addressed by
